On Monday, Governor Rick Scott signed legislation that limits opioid prescribing and provides tens of millions in new funding to combat Florida's escalating overdose epidemic. In 2016, opioid overdose death toll in Florida rose to more than 3,300. The newly enacted legislation (HB 21), seeks to curb the epidemic by limiting opioid prescribing, providing $65 million to expand treatment and make the overdose antagonist, Naxolone (also known as Narcan or Evzio), more readily available to law enforcement and paramedics.
